1 is the #60 WR in this class who I think has not played WR very much. The other is a speedster who has limited receptions based on his tape and is unlikely to come down with a 50/50 ball. JMO and as I said time will tell. Also I can't lose sight of the fact that we are in a different league now nationally and to win it all takes a more rounded offense. Look at Alabama's WR room last year, that's the type of talent we need to have. In 2017 they had 4 of the top 12 WR in that one class.
It's not even the greatest WR class since 2019 ;-)
Regarding Wren, we recruited a 3 star, 5'8" 175 lbs "WR/RB" a few years back. He was fast and shifty but didn't really fit the mold of what the typical WR profile was. Also, he sort of came as a "package deal" even though the staff at that time thought they could work him into the scheme. They did and even though he wasn't one of the top receivers during his time here, he made a big enough impression to be drafted into the NFL.
His name.........Isaiah McKenzie.
Point being, I could see the staff looking at putting the ball in his hands at anytime, including special teams...
JRob will move up the rankings during his senior season. You can save this and throw it back at me when im wrong.
If i recall correctly,He transferred schools and had to sit out, then was injured which effected his tape, thus his ranking. Senior year will change some minds in the recruiting Industry.
Robinson, Rosemy, and Wren joining D-Rob, Blaylock, Pickens, Cager, and Bush.
I have zero complaints about that list.
If we're going to be REALLY honest, none of us can really evaluate this class, and I don't mean just because we don't do it for a living. Outside of Rosemy, the industry itself doesn't know much about our #1 and #3 targets.
I'm going to assume that JRob really IS all the staff thinks he is but there isn't a ton of statistical evidence. Young Megatron sounds great, though I'm kinda guessing this isn't the first WR coming out of a GA high school to ever get that comp..and who said that again? But, it is what it is. I trust them to have moved so early and decisively.
Rosemy: I don't like the Ridley comp but he's a guy from a very good program with production in big games who lots of teams coveted so I'm pretty happy with that.
Wren: what's been said by myself and a few others. Safe to say a pretty big question mark.
Again, not being ungrateful or calling for anyone's job, but you have to admit that objectively, this class is a pretty big question mark and is putting a lot of faith in Kirby's/Hankton's judgement. Not saying their judgement isn't the best, but if we had settled on say, Tank Bigsby, the RB out Cedartown, and an undersized 3 star scatback for developmental purposes as our RB class would y'all get mad if anyone dared to question it?
So I'd say it has the potential to be a great class..of course to me it seems like "potential" could be the one word best used to describe most of our WR room right now. YMMV.
What is the total receptions of those 8? I know 7 of them have zero, not sure on Bush. That's what concerns me. They may prove to be good but would feel better if there were more top 50 players in the group. My money is on Rosemy, Blaylock, Pickens and Jackson to save the day.
Two years ago, we'd have killed for this WR group of recruits and specifically a WR of Rosemy's quality. There's zero reason to doubt the staff's assessment of JRob and the people that have seen him in person all come away impressed.
If we get Wren, I see a Tyreke Hill ceiling by his third season. The absolute floor on him is a stud returner, kicks and punts. And I guess the first leg of our 4x100 relay team.
So, am I happy with this WR class and our WR room in general? Yes. They are young, but if our small handed QB is a future first rounder, he'll carry them early in the season.
